How to set up Kiwi initially

Step 1: Install the Kiwi Slack ClientClick 'Add to Slack' on our website to get started with Kiwi. We will automatically generate your account based on the details your Slack account provides us.

Step 3: Define permissionsUnderstand that Kiwi has a two-level approach to permissions to ensure data security. Head to your User Settings first to assign roles and then create Teams to grant access to Tableau views on a more granular level.

Step 4: Set filters to make them searchable in SlackWith the powerful BI Search you can make all Tableau views searchable and viewable within Slack. In addition you can also search within all filters. To do this you have to activate the feature for every Tableau view you would like to make "filter-searchable".
